Thank you for the information that you provided.  I was wondering how I could change some of those settings.  I have found that the default of 10 sec is not always enough.

So I have figured out how to get the mode for amount of time that the camera will record, I still have not figured out how to

get the mode to be what I need.  I have tried to follow the directions of the couple of Replys that I have received.  I did set a new mode, but

it does not give me an option to set a schedule.  It is either live or it is not.  It is a camera inside the house, so I do not need to have it beep every

10 seconds because we are walking around the house.

I see the add mode, but it appears to be very limited on what can be set.

Thank you..

Once you create a mode or just want to use the default Armed mode you then edit the schedule to place the mode(s) appropriately.  You don't schedule the mode inside the mode - you do it in the schedule.
